The bad planning still exists and we are still paying ourselves too much especially at the top.
The only lesson we have learned is to get our deficit down but this government has done it at the expense of the poor.

Maybe that's why Boris didn't mention it

Boris wouldn't mention it because Boris was not the person who determines policy.
The government know that they must get immigration down but it has to be done in a practical way. If all EU immigrants were expelled many of our public services and businesses would go under with adverse effects on the lifestyles of UK citizens involved.
The government need a quick, simple method of controlling immigration that does not have negative erffects and it has to be applied fairly to all immigrants.
This means that as they reduce the number of EU immigrants some unemployed people have to be willing and able to take their jobs so that normality can be maintained.
At present the infrastructure to do that does not exist. Some people will need to be retrained and that takes time.
Boris saw the points system as one method of control. Theresa May saw not having a job to go to as another. The Americans use the visa system.The method of reducing immigrants has not been decided yet. Once they have decided which method to use and have applied it numbers will fall.
While this is happening the government will also have to ensure that UK nationals in areas where there are high numbers of immigrants are able to find a home, send their children to the school of their choice, have easy access to doctors and dentists, get a job etc because those are the things they are complaining about.
We'll just have to wait to see how the goverment decide to do all this.
